The 1905 Committee stands for civic engagement and accountability. Our purpose has always been, and remains, to hold Premier Danielle Smith accountable to the true conservative values she was elected to uphold.
Many see this weekend as a “defeat” for the 1905 Committee, but in reality, the exact opposite is true.
This is what success looks like.
1. Unprecedented Engagement: Over 6,000 Albertans attended the UCP AGM, marking the largest political gathering in Canadian history. This turnout shows a groundswell of civic participation.
2. Proof of Public Pressure: In the weeks leading up to the AGM, a rapid succession of legislative proposals was put forth, demonstrating that public pressure can drive meaningful results.
3. High Expectations Set: Due to this pressure, Danielle Smith has set a high bar of expectations and must now follow through with impactful and timely actions. The bar has never been higher.
4. Unwavering Conservative Support: With 91.5% support for the Premier, any cabinet minister or staff member who hinders the conservative mandate does so at their own peril. The mandate for conservative values is now indisputable.
5. A Moment for Bold Action: There has never been a better time for the Premier to act boldly and fulfill the promises made in her powerful speech.

Watching the drama unfold around the referendum discussion is, to me, just so incredibly silly.
I cannot believe we are at a point where we are seriously entertaining theatrics about whether citizens should even be allowed to pose a question, instead of having mature discussions about what the question actually means, the potential consequences, the legal realities, the risks, the benefits, and the broader future of the province and country.
That is what democracy is supposed to be.
Not fear of discussion.
Not attempts to shut conversations down before they even happen.
Not treating citizens like they are incapable of hearing ideas, thinking critically, and making decisions for themselves.
A referendum question is not automatic implementation. It is a mechanism to gauge public support and force public discussion on an issue of significant importance. Democracies should not be afraid of asking questions. If anything, they should be afraid of preventing them.

“On Thursday we will find out what creative workaround they have in mind.
How do Albertans get to a vote on Alberta independence with a question that will not land the Alberta government in a legal jackpot with the courts?
Do you want to remain in Canada or …?
On Thursday Smith will fill in the blanks.
If you’re an Alberta independence activist, if you go on social media often and fly the Alberta flag and proclaim you’ve had it with Canada, you will likely not be happy with what you see.”
